Bismarck aud ihe Relic Hunters.

Relic hunters have so damaged
Prince Bismarck's park at Friedrichs-
ruho that the Chancellor has been
obliged to shut his grounds to the pub
lie. His admirers carried OFF all the
flowers, stripped the trees OF leaves as
mementoes, and even cut of the
branches wholesale. The browning
point OF yexatIon was reached when the
Prince one day saw a party of ladies'
hnekipg away at one OF his finest trees.
He went up TO them and demonstrated
engrily, :" Ladies, il every one who visits
this park carries away u few leaves there
will be no more left than the few hairs
on my bald head" After this the gates
were closed.

ticc il carefully and: not obtain a

have its just dues. IN the first place.
lie, us inqnire what kind of an organ

made against our county officers. and
those OF our citizens that assisted in
e%ndcayoring to ferret out the author
OF the hcinous crime committed in the
midst of a proiesscd christian land and
society. The article attempts to take
the scandal off the mes it justly be-
longs to, and throw it upon those that
were en~deavOring TO protect society
and TO recover to Il citizen that which
he had been shamefnlly robbed OF.
And he attempts to cXnncrate his two

mulated so much wealth and honor
there is where the trouble comes, for
the man with wealth always finds
friends and obtains honor. lilo was

making any further comments on the
facts of the cause, as the whole is
pending in our circuit court, but il is
q fact that Mr.. &. is now looscr OF ~
cr $500, a great damage TO himself,
which he law ought to acc that he is
made whole in. Reader, consider the

who are the bcnctciarics. Why should
